Hi there ,

Eric GREAT STUFF ! I'm like all pumped up now

.

Probably if you can put in more stuff about how beating the gmat really helped you out,... your mba decision , worklife plan etc ( yes , people i understand getting a 720 is going to change your life) , but more details would probably give a fairytale ending to the blog

. Just thought itll really be cool

On a more serious note , ( if this does not already exist, did a quick search but couldnt get anything) , if you could probably put up a seperate category/folder for rankings based on various ("trusted") sources , where each college stands based on criteria etc , it would be of REAL great help..!

Cheers
K2

Hi K2:

Thanks for your kind words.

I'd be interested in learning more about your suggestion. What do you mean by trusted sources? Are you saying you want a special thread or folder exclusively devoted to MBA rankings, from sources like USNews, Financial Times, etc?

Yup Eric you got that spot on. There are quite a few dependable sources that provide rankings based on various criterion , Forbes , financial times , Business week etc etc , many of which you have already mentioned.
I think maintaining a seperate thread on this with the updated rankings would really prove useful for everyone.

your thoughts ?

Doesn't hurt--would you be interested in starting this thread in the b-school in general forum area, and I'll make it sticky?

just another suggestion , do you think it makes sense to have this as a seperate category ? with various topics based on the sources ( would be easy to peruse through.) or do you think a single sticky should suffice ?

Let's try a sticky thread first. If we see that there's a sizeable volume of responses or posts, we can then think about scaling to a separate sub-forum.

Thanks again for the great idea!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
